Many of the Yankees used torpedo bats while posting historic numbers this weekend. Here's how the team started using the oddly-shaped bats and why they're legal.

It's been revealed that the Yankees are using new custom bats known as "torpedo" bats, which have more wood at the label to give a larger spot to the area where players make contact. They've hit so many home runs to start the season, but it's a very small sample size. Is it the bats? Or is it that the Milwaukee Brewers ' pitching is just THAT bad?

Yankees great CC Sabathia says we shouldn't be so quick to credit the Yankees early success to new torpedo bats, but rather the Brewers' subpar pitching.
